Dr. Nikolaus von Bomhard

Chairman of Munich Re’s

Board of Management

To our shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

With another very good result in the third quarter of 2007, the Munich Re Group has suc-cessfully completed an important stage on the way to reporting a new record profi t for the year. The annual closing date for our insurance business is, of course, 31 December, but at present things look very promising for the 2007 fi gures. In the third quarter, we posted a result of €1,216m (723m), thereby taking our profi t for the fi rst three quarters of the current fi nancial year to €3.3bn (2.9bn). The quarterly result benefi ted from the fact that we were able to recognise additional one-off income of around €400m as a consequence of the 2008 German business tax reform. Losses from natural catastrophes in the year to date have, asa whole, remained within the range of our expectations, being above budget in Europe and Asia and below budget in the hurricane-exposed regions of the USA.

Our combined ratio for the fi rst nine months of this year in both reinsurance and pri-mary insurance still bears the marks of the losses from European Winter Storm Kyrill. The combined ratio for this period in property-casualty reinsurance amounts to 98.0% (91.2%), whilst in primary insurance it totals 92.9% (91.0%). Despite the relative deterioration com-pared with last year, these are satisfactory levels, especially given the marked recovery the ratios showed in the second and third quarters. The fi gures for the third quarter were 97.1% in reinsurance and 92.1% in primary insurance. If no exceptional catastrophe losses occur before the end of the year, we can therefore expect a good result in respect of our combined ratios as well – an endorsement of our consistent cycle management and our selective and quality-oriented underwriting policy, which we are pursuing further in our Changing Gear programme for profi table growth.

Ladies and gentlemen, the topics of sustainability and climate change have received extensive coverage in the media this year, refl ecting the importance of these issues for the future of us all. What position do we as the Munich Re Group adopt here, what action are we taking, and what motives do we have for these activities?

The business model of insurance and the concept of sustainability have many parallels. A prospective, prudent and responsible approach is a defi ning trait for insurers. After all, in order to deal professionally with risk as the object of our business, we have to assess the fi nancial consequences of uncertain future events. Insurance is thus a forward-looking com-mitment aimed at mitigating the material impact of future losses for those affected. As insurers, we have to identify today the risks we will have to deal with tomorrow. That is key to turning risk into value.

Climate change and its consequences are a strategic issue for us; they directly affect our business. On the one hand, they open up a new business segment with major growth opportunities, for which we are developing innovative insurance products. One example is the Kyoto Multi Risk Policy, in which we combine traditional insurance products with a new element – protection against the uncertainty of carbon credit delivery. On the other hand, the growing number of severe natural catastrophes is making itself felt from region to

region in ever greater loss burdens. That is why, in the business fi eld of reinsurance, our internationally renowned Geo Risks Research Unit has been devoting itself to the study of natural hazards for more than three decades. A focal point of the unit’s work is climate change and its impact on the frequencies and intensities of extreme weather events. We aim to use the fi ndings to ensure that risks continue to remain calculable and insurable.

We see it as our responsibility to make our knowledge available to the public and also to give politicians the relevant input for debate. In so doing, we draw attention to the eco-logical and social consequences of environmental changes, as well as the economic impact. Furthering the cause of sustainability and environmental protection is of importance to us not only as a “Group within society” but also with regard to the capital market. For the fact is that the concept of sustainability plays an increasingly central role for our investors as well. The inclusion of our shares in sustainability indices is consequently a must. By signing the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, we have made it clear that sustainability is also a leading selection criterion for our own investments. Beyond this, we are involved in numerous other organisations concerned with climate protection.

However, our commitment to prudent environmental protection is only credible if we practise this ourselves as a Group. We therefore also fulfi l our responsibility with regard to active climate protection. In June 2006, the Munich Re Group adopted a sustainability strat-egy with related guiding principles, in which we undertake to carefully manage the earth’s resources. This includes the resolute implementation of an effective environmental man-agement system. We have committed ourselves to the goal of completely neutralising our reinsurance group’s business-related CO2 emissions – i.e. making our operations carbon-neutral – by 2012. Our Munich location is geared to the highest European standard for en vironmental management systems through validation under the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS). Besides this, the companies of our primary insurance group, ERGO, are constantly strengthening their environmental commitment. One of the ERGO com-panies, Victoria, was the fi rst European insurer to receive EMAS validation back in 1998.

My intention with these remarks on the subject of sustainability is to highlight an aspect of our activities that on the surface may appear to have little to do with our core business. In fact, our success in the long term will be determined substantially by how we position our-selves in this area and what action we take.

Yours sincerely,

To our shareholders

– Global growth still robust– US economy suffering from effects of subprime mortgage crisis– Turbulences on the international capital markets

Key parameters

In the period under review, the global economy remained robust. Decreases in value on the US property market and the fear of mortgage loan defaults had a stronger impact than originally expected. Signs of a confi dence and liquidity crisis, with appreciable effects on the fi nancial markets, hindered economic growth in the USA in the third quarter. In China, by contrast, the high growth dynamics were maintained.

According to initial estimates, in the third quar-ter of 2007 the US economy recorded a seasonally adjusted and annualised real growth rate of 3.9% over the previous quarter. The property-market cri-sis and the turbulences it triggered on the fi nancial markets affected both private consumption and corporate investment.

Although the economy in the eurozone keptup its momentum, early indicators such as the Pur-chasing Managers’ Index for the manufacturing sector declined appreciably.

In Germany, the much-heeded ifo business cli-mate index was considerably down on the fi gure for June. While the current situation was assessed as comparatively good, economic expectations were only guardedly optimistic.

In Japan, too, the latest economic data point to a gradual economic slowdown. Compared with the very weak second quarter, however, growth in the third quarter is likely to have been higher.

Growing by 11.5% in real terms year on year, China again provided strong impulses for the global economy. The other emerging markets of Asia, eastern Europe and Latin America also bene-fi ted from the still-healthy global economy and were barely impacted by the distortions affecting the developed industrial nations’ fi nancial markets.

In the foreign-exchange markets, the euro initially fell by US$ 0.02 to about US$ 1.34 in mid-August, but subsequently rose to just over US$ 1.41 at the end of the quarter. Against the background of the emerging crisis in confi dence, the central banks provided the fi nancial markets with substantial liquid funds to avert a serious liquidity shortage. Moreover, the Federal Reserve lowered its key interest rate by 50 basis points to 4.75% in the period under review. In this environment of mount-ing tension and economic concerns, short-term interest rates and spreads rose appreciably world-wide, while long-term interest rates in the USA and the eurozone declined. The main international share price indices largely displayed a downward trend. The EURO STOXX 50 decreased marginally in the third quarter, with the US Dow Jones show-ing a slight improvement.

For 2007 as a whole, real economic growth in the USA is expected to be considerably lower than the past year’s fi gure of 2.9%. In the eurozone, we anticipate robust growth for the full year, with the likelihood of a deceleration in 2008. The same applies to Germany.

The global economy continues to be threat-ened by signifi cant risks, ranging from geopolitical uncertainty (political situation in the Middle East, further substantial increase in oil prices) to a fur-ther marked depreciation of the US dollar owing to the high US current account defi cit, or the outbreak of a global pandemic.

Business experience from 1 January to 30 September 2007

Reinsurance

– Very good consolidated result of €2.8bn in the fi rst three quarters– Higher cost burden of €999m from major losses for January to September; combined ratio of 98.0%– Successful treaty renewals at 1 July 2007 with risk-adequate prices

The Munich Re Group‘s reinsurance business per-formed positively as a whole in the third quarter. Although the operating result for the period July to September shows a year-on-year decrease of €309m to €798m (1,107m), we posted a satisfying operating result of €3,215m (3,694m) for the fi rst nine months, despite a considerable number of sizeable loss events. This success was founded on overall risk-adequate pricing in our underwriting business and a very positive investment result.

The Bundesrat approved the German Business Tax Reform Act 2008 on 6 July 2007. This results in a change in valuation of deferred taxes for the Ger-man Group companies at 30 September 2007 due to the lower tax rate applicable from 1 January 2008 in Germany. In the reinsurance segment, this leads to tax income of €314m, so that on balance for the third quarter we posted tax income of €141m. The consolidated result in reinsurance rose to €857m (605m) in the third quarter on account of the pleasing underwriting result, the very positive investment result and the lower tax rates. For the fi rst nine months, this fi gure was €2,779m (2,361m).

Our cycle management and underwriting disci-pline have helped to keep our combined ratios in non-life reinsurance low, despite natural catas-trophes. The treaty renewals in property-casualty reinsurance at the turn of the year, in early April and as at 1 July were successful. Since competitive pressure is still intense, rates have declined slightly on average, but remain at a risk-adequate level. In line with the maxim of “profi tability before premium volume”, we acquired new business with good earnings potential and were even able to increase premium volume in business renewed.

In order to generate further profi table growth, we are pursuing a number of promising initiatives in our Changing Gear programme. These have included setting up a new unit offering innovative products for special enterprise risks. In this area, we will cover companies that make long-term investments or have very long product-develop-ment processes against risks from such events as political changes or failure of suppliers. In addition, we have opened a branch in Kuala Lumpur devoted entirely to writing Retakaful business, initially focusing on Malaysia but with a view to expanding further afi eld in future. An alternative to the trad-itional types of reinsurance, Retakaful follows the

principles of Islamic theology and is a concept for which we expect particularly dynamic growth. In the third quarter, we increased our stake in the US company Cairnstone Inc. from 25% to 100% for a purchase price of €18.3m. Cairnstone, which offers employers in the USA stop-loss covers for the healthcare expenditure they fi nance for their employees, managed a business volume of over US$ 80m in 2006. By taking over this segment-lead-ing company, we are extending our commitment in the American healthcare market and strengthening our competitive position.

In the third quarter, gross premiums written by our reinsurance group amounted to €5.48bn (5.50bn) – a decrease of 0.5% compared with the third quarter of 2006. In the fi rst nine months, gross premiums written totalled €16.5bn (16.8bn). The strength of the euro in relation to many other currencies had a negative impact on our premium income from foreign-currency business when denominated in euros. If exchange rates had remained the same, our premium volume would have increased by 2.8% in the third quarter, and by 1.6% in the course of the year.

In comparison with the same period of the pre-vious year, gross premiums written in the life and health segment fell by 4.1% to €1.87bn (1.95bn) inthe third quarter. Our premium income in the fi rst nine months totalled €5.5bn (5.8bn), down 5.5% against last year. Key factors in this were currency-exchange effects and the scheduled reduction of individual large-volume reinsurance treaties. Adjusted to eliminate the effects of changes in exchange rates, premium income decreased 2.2% between January and September.

Our premium income in property-casualty reinsur-ance was up 1.4% to €3.61bn (3.56bn) in the third quarter, but premiums fell 0.4% to €10.95bn (10.99bn) in the fi rst nine months of the business year, chiefl y due to currency effects. Adjusted to eliminate these effects, premium income rose by 3.7% in comparison to the fi rst three quarters of the previous year.

The combined ratio stood at 97.1% (90.4%) for the third quarter and at 98.0% (91.2%) for the period from January to September.

Large losses of over €5m each amounted to some €320m (146m) in the third quarter. At around €60m, Hurricane Dean was the largest loss occur-rence. We established provisions of around €50m for the fl oods in June and July in the UK. A satellite claim in our space business cost us a good €30m.

In the fi rst three quarters, claims costs for major losses were approximately 75% higher year on year at around €1.0bn (564m), Winter Storm Kyrill alone having led to losses of around €390m in the fi rst quarter.

Our reinsurers’ investment result came to €863m (1,063m) in the third quarter and €3.5bn (3.4bn) in the period from January to September. The major positive infl uences on the result for the fi rst three quarters were regular income from inter-est-bearing investments at €1.6bn (1.5bn) and the result of €1.3bn (1.2bn) from the sale of stocks. Increased dividend income and gains of approx-imately €220m on the disposal of a German real-estate package (see page 9) also contributed to the very strong investment result in reinsurance.

Key primary insurance fi gures

The Munich Re Group’s primary insurers, essen-tially comprising the ERGO Insurance Group, Europäische Reiseversicherung and the Watkins Syndicate, posted an operating result of €313m (193m) in the third quarter of 2007, a satisfying increase of 62.2%. For January to September, their operating result showed a reduction of 6.4%, but was still good at €923m (986m).

The consolidated result in primary insurance for the fi rst nine months of 2007 came to €752m (562m), of which €342m (116m) was for the third quarter. The main factor behind the 33.8%

increase in profi ts after nine months was one-off tax income of €118m, which was posted in the third quarter owing to the passing of the German Busi-ness Tax Reform Act 2008.

In the third quarter of 2007, gross premiums written by our primary insurance group totalled €4.0bn (3.9bn), an increase of 4.1%. Growth in the fi rst nine months amounted to 3.5%, and was espe-cially prominent in our international business, above all in property-casualty insurance and in the health segment. Since the start of the year, gross premiums written show a rise to €12.8bn (12.4bn).

Our life insurers wrote gross premiums of €1.4bn (1.5bn) in the third quarter of 2007, a reduction of 6.2% compared with the third quarter of 2006. In the course of the year, premium volume fell by 5.1% to €4.4bn (4.6bn). This decline primarily refl ects the high number of planned policy termi-nations in German business, where premium vol-ume showed a decrease to €3.7bn (3.9bn) since the beginning of the year. German new business in the third quarter was up on the previous year, rising by 6.2%. From January to September, however, it experienced a slight decline of 1.5%. This was chiefl y due to a “basis” effect: the third subsidisa-tion stage for Riester policies had given a major boost to new business in early 2006. Without this “basis” effect, there would have been a 4.3% increase. Single-premium business continued to improve in the fi rst three quarters. The expansion in new business was mainly due to unit-linked life insurance and classic annuity products. Outside Germany, the development of business in Belgium and Poland was particularly pleasing.

In health insurance, we recorded a signifi cant rise in premium income of 4.8% to €1.32bn in the third quarter of 2007, compared with €1.26bn in the same quarter last year. Since the start of the year, premium showed growth of 4.7% to €4.0bn (3.8bn), a key factor being the good business development abroad, where the improvement – at 12.4% – was considerably higher than in Germany (3.5%). Pre-mium increases in Belgium and Spain were partic-ularly strong. In Germany, gross premiums written in supplementary health business made good headway (+6.4%), and we recorded an increase rate of 2.8% in comprehensive health insurance. The disproportionate growth in supplementary health insurance was attributable to the excellent new-business fi gures from last year’s second and third quarters, which fully impact premiums this year. The total number of all policyholders was up 7.6% on the previous year, rising noticeably (by 9.5%) in supplementary health insurance but remaining virtually unchanged (–0.5%) in compre-hensive health insurance.

In property-casualty insurance, we generated gross premium income of €1.3bn (1.1bn) in the third quarter of 2007, a robust increase of 17.2% against the third quarter of 2006. Premium income since the beginning of the year climbed 12.4% to €4.4bn (4.0bn), thanks largely to ERGO’s foreign business. As a result of changes in the consoli-

dated group, gross premiums written expanded by a signifi cant 58.8%, and still showed an improve-ment of 14.0% when adjusted for the acquisition of the Turkish İsviçre Group in 2006. This positive development is largely linked to the very satisfac-tory growth in Poland and the Baltic States. At €2.12bn (2.11bn), ERGO’s German business remained at around the same level as in the previ-ous year. This was mainly because of the trend in motor insurance, where premium income declined by 5.5%, above all owing to our profi t-oriented underwriting policy and the reassignment of an increased number of policyholders to higher no-claims bonus classes. The performance of ERGO’s target lines remained positive: from January to September, personal accident insurance grew by 1.0%, and commercial property and liability busi-ness by as much as 18.8% and 6.0% respectively.

ERGO’s legal expenses insurance showed pre-mium income of €219m (209m) in the third quarter of 2007, representing growth of 4.8% compared with last year. From January to September, gross premiums written climbed to €687m (652m). Both domestic (+1.8%) and foreign business contributed to this growth, the latter again playing a key role with marked expansion of 9.3% to €350m (321m).

At 92.9%, the combined ratio for property-casualty business (including legal expenses insur-ance) for the fi rst nine months of 2007 was higher than for the same period last year (91.0%). Winter Storm Kyrill had given rise to high claims costs at the start of the year. The combined ratio for the third quarter of 2007 in isolation was 92.1% (89.1%).

The investment result in primary insurance for January to September came to €4.5bn (3.9bn). Of this, €1.2bn (1.3bn) was attributable to the third quarter.

Partly owing to real-estate sales (see page 9), our primary insurers contributed approximately €340m to the investment result in the currentfi nancial year, with gains on disposals from the re structuring of the equity portfolio amounting to €1.2bn (1.1bn).

Development on the bond markets had a posi-tive effect on the derivative fi nancial instruments used in hedging against the reinvestment risk in the event of falling interest rates. In consequence, the balance of write-ups and write-downs of deriva-tives in life insurance improved by €117m year on year.

Investment result by type of investment

For the period January to September, the Munich Re Group posted an investment result of €7,636m (7,060m), or 8.2% more than in the same period last year. The third-quarter result amounted to €1,990m (2,257m).

Compared with the previous year, regular income from investments in the fi rst three quarters increased by 4.8% to €6,240m (5,956m), mainly owing to the higher average returns achieved in our bond portfolios. The chief benefi ciaries of this trend were our primary insurers, which have approximately 80% of their assets invested in fi xed-interest securities.

Net gains from the sale of investments totalled €2,579m (2,221m) in the period under review, pri-marily due to the active management of our real-estate and equities portfolios. Since the beginning of the year, we have achieved gains on disposal of around €600m from the sale of a real-estate pack-age comprising residential and commercial prop-erties throughout Germany. The sale was initiated in 2006 and is being completed in the course of this year. Approximately €550m of these gains are included in the investment result. The remainder is apportionable to owner-occupied property.

Investment mix

Further diversifi cation of our equities portfolio and profi t-taking to capitalise on rising share prices enabled us to post gains of €2,498m (2,353m) on the disposal of shares in the fi rst nine months.

Corrections on the stock markets after the mid-year reporting date led to impairment losses in our equities portfolio, which impacted the investment result by €224m (16m) in the third quarter.

To hedge our portfolio against price, interest-rate and exchange-rate fl uctuations, we use deriva-tive fi nancial instruments, such as options, futures, swaps and forward trading. The balance of dis-posals, write-ups and write-downs of these items totalled –€539m (–€564m) in the period January to September.

The environment continues to be diffi cult for fi nancial instruments exposed to the US subprime mortgage markets. In relation to the Munich Re

Group’s total investment volume, only a small amount is invested in such items – some €374m,or 0.2% of our overall investment portfolio. This includes our holdings of credit derivatives affected in this context, revaluation of which gave rise to losses of around €120m in the fi rst nine months. In addition, there were losses on disposal and impair-ment losses of around €30m on the above-men-tioned fi nancial instruments exposed to the US subprime mortgage markets. The burdens are thus within the range of our expectations announced after the second quarter. We have based the impair-ment losses on the available indicators for market prices, even though the almost complete loss of demand meant that such an approach resulted in signifi cantly lower values than a purely model-oriented valuation.

The carrying amount of the Munich Re Group’s investments developed positively overall, rising since the beginning of the year by 1.4% to €179.4bn (176.9bn).

Cash infl ows are invested mainly in long-term bonds in primary insurance, whereas in reinsur-ance they are mostly invested in securities with medium-term maturities.

In our investment strategy, with its holistic approach based on asset-liability management, the structure of our liabilities plays a key role. In other words, we take into account the characteristics of the payment obligations from insurance business, including their dependence on economic factors such as interest rates, currency and infl ation, and we acquire investments that are similar in structure and maturity, thus cushioning our result against capital market fl uctuations.

In addition, we also consider environmental and sustainability aspects in our investment pro-cess: on the one hand, we have laid down sustain-ability criteria for our investment decisions and, on the other, we invest in such items as renewable energies and afforestation.

As at 30 September 2007, our portfolio of fi xed-interest securities and loans amounted to €132.6bn (127.5bn), making up around 74% of our total investments at carrying amounts.

The volume of equities, including investments in affi liated non-consolidated companies and as -sociates, was lower at the end of the quarter than at the start of the year, totalling €24.5bn (25.8bn). The proportion of our investments in equities on a

book-value basis amounted to 13.7% at 30 Septem-ber 2007, compared with 14.6% at the end of 2006, whilst at market values – taking into account equity derivatives used in hedging – the proportion fell from 14.1% to 11.3%.

The carrying amount of land and buildings in our investment portfolio showed a decrease of €0.7bn to €4.0bn (4.7bn) since the beginning of the year, mainly due to book-value reductions from the sale of the real-estate package.

Net unrealised gains based on the market valu-ation of our securities available for sale totalled €6.6bn (9.3bn) at the end of the quarter (see table “Other securities – Available for sale” on page 34of the notes to the consolidated fi nancial state-ments). Net unrealised losses on our fi xed-interest securities available for sale recognised at market value were down by €1.2bn in the third quarterto –0.4bn, as interest-rate levels fell due to thefi n ancial market crisis and investments in low-risk se curities such as government bonds increased in value and losses were realised. The global rise in interest rates had led to net unrealised losses in the second quarter of 2007.

The favourable performance of the stock mar-kets up to the middle of the year was followed by a price correction at the start of the second half-year, triggered by the crisis in the US mortgage market. In combination with sales from our equities port-folio, this meant that in the fi rst nine months net unrealised gains on non-fi xed-interest securities available for sale decreased by €1.5bn to €7.0bn (8.5bn).

Our off-balance-sheet valuation reserves mainly derive from loans recognised in the balance sheet at amortised cost, owner-occupied and investment property, and investments in associates. Since the beginning of the year, these off-balance-sheet reserves showed a decline of €1.6bn to €0.3bn (1.9bn), some €0.2bn (0.3bn) of which was attributable to owner-occupied real estate.

The sale of the package of German real estate reduced our unrealised valuation reserves by around

€600m, with owner-occupied real estate accounting for approximately €50m.

In connection with our loan portfolio, 99% of which is held by our primary insurers, there are also hidden nega-tive valuation differences. These increased by €1,115m in the course of the year owing to the rise in long-term cap-ital market interest rates, although there was an appreci-able recovery in the third quarter as a result of marginally falling yields.

MEAG MUNICH ERGO AssetManagement GmbH is the asset manager of Munich Re and the ERGO Insurance Group. Its investments under management for the Munich Re Group total €172.0bn (172.4bn).

In addition to its function as asset manager for the Group, MEAG also offers its competence to private and institutional clients. Private-client business was slightly down on the previous quarter. Given the uncertainties surrounding the impact of the US mortgage market crisis, investors’ attention has focused on security-oriented investments such as money-market funds with stable prices and the recently introduced capital protected funds. Assets invested for private clients in retail funds amounted to €2.5bn (2.7bn) at the end of the quarter.

Two new segregated real estate funds governed by Lux-embourg law – MEAG European Retail Fund and MEAG European Logistics Fund – were successfully launched on the market. MEAG’s assets under management for institu-tional clients reduced to €7.0bn (8.5bn), owing to profi t-taking in the real-estate sector.

Around one year ago, MEAG acquired a stake of 19% in PAMC, the asset manager of the PICC (People’s Insur-ance Company of China, the largest Chinese property insurer). This participation has developed well: PAMC’s assets under management rose by 40% to €6.3bn (4.5bn) in the fi rst nine months, and should continue to grow strongly.

Prospects

There are various reasons why the quarterly results of insurance companies, including Munich Re, are not a suit-able indicator for the results of the fi nancial year as a whole. Losses from natural catastrophes and other major losses have a disproportionate impact on the result of the reporting period in which they randomly and unforesee-ably occur. Late-reported claims for major loss events can also lead to substantial fl uctuations in individual quarter-ly results. And fi nally, gains and losses on the disposal of investments do not follow a regular pattern. Conse-quently, our quarterly fi gures do not provide more than pointers to the result for the year that may be expected.

ReinsuranceReinsurance continues to hold considerable promise for the future, with a wide variety of earnings opportunities. The global reinsurance market will carry on growing in the next ten years. We intend to participate in this devel-opment and be the most profi table of the big fi ve reinsur-ers.

To this end, we have combined strategic business ini-tiatives and organisational and structural projects in a growth initiative with the motto “Changing Gear”. At the heart of this initiative is our determination to provide our clients more rapidly with innovative and even better tailored products. Beyond this, we intend to simplify our internal processes, reduce any unnecessary bureaucracy and improve our services.

As part of our growth initiative, we aim to signifi -cantly increase the volume of profi table business in the USA in the medium term. With effect from 1 January 2008, we will introduce a set-up at Munich Re America structured according to client groups that allows us to develop reinsurance solutions specifi cally geared to client requirements. In addition, we intend to expand our broker business and build a dominant position in niche primary insurance segments. With these measures, we are laying the foundations for a medium-term increase in our profi t-ability in the USA. Implementation will be effected in

accordance with our fundamentally profi t-oriented under-writing policy and will be strictly cycle-dependent. In mid-October 2007, we concluded an agreement with US pri-mary insurer Midland, subject to which we will acquire 100% of Midland‘s shares for a purchase price of around US$ 1.3bn (€0.9bn). The acquisition requires the accept-ance of Midland’s shareholders and the approval of vari-ous authorities, so the transaction is not expected to be completed until next year. Midland is a provider of spe-cialty insurance in such niche segments as the insurance of manufactured housing and motorhomes. With pre-mium income of US$ 832m (€679m) in 2006 and low com-bined ratios (2006: 93.0%; 2005: 93.8%; 2004: 96.3%), Mid-land is one of the leading US specialty insurers. The company is excellently positioned owing to its various distribution channels and presence in 50 states and will offer us sustained opportunities for selling our special products for commercial risks.

At the end of October, we also acquired the British company MSP Underwriting Ltd. and thus a stake of 47.3% in Lloyd‘s Syndicate 318. MSP Underwriting focuses on short-tail international property business. The acquisition gives us further access to business written via Lloyd’s, in lines not already covered by the Watkins Syndi-cate in the Munich Re Group.

In life reinsurance, premium income will decline somewhat in 2007, since the euro has gained considerable ground against most currencies, and we are reducing sev-eral large-volume reinsurance treaties as planned. For the coming years, however, we anticipate that fundamental growth impulses will derive from the restructuring of European insurance supervision (Solvency II) and the continuing privatisation trend in old-age and disability provision in developed countries.

– Reinsurance markets still attractive– Expectations for the annual result 2007 (subject to normal major-loss incidence and capital market developments):

· Moderate reductions in reinsurance premium income owing to currency infl uences· Rising premium in primary insurance, especially in property-casualty business· Sights set on outstanding consolidated result of €3.5–3.8bn· Clear surpassing of 15% return target (RORAC)· Continuation of active capital management

The fi eld of health business presents a host of av -enues for growth with various business models. We offer our clients more than the insurance indus-try’s usual value chain, because we integrate pri-mary insurance and reinsurance more strongly and provide extensive services. We intend to further intensify the close cooperation between Munich Re and DKV in selected foreign markets.

Cycle management, underwriting discipline, client focus and leading know-how continue toprovide the foundations for our good results in property-casualty reinsurance. In recent renewals, rates declined slightly owing to continuing com-petitive pressure but we nevertheless fi rmly ad- hered to risk-adequate prices and conditions. We will consistently refrain from participating in busi-ness that does not meet our stringent profi tability requirements and will further expand special seg-ments with strong margins. In the renewal negotia-tions for 2008, which will take place at the end of the year and involve roughly two-thirds of our treaty business, we will fi rmly pursue our long-term-oriented business strategy. Only in this way can we ensure our sustained viability and achieve our ambitious result targets.

Reinsurance business has performed very well so far this year, even though our burden from major losses totalling €999m (564m) was far higher than in 2006, owing to major natural catastrophe losses such as Winter Storm Kyrill, Hurricane Dean and the fl oods in the United Kingdom.

For the year as a whole, we project a burden of 7% from natural catastrophes. We are nevertheless confi dent of being able to achieve a combined ratio of under 97% if in the remaining two months of the year we are not confronted with above-average losses from single major events.

It is likely that our gross premiums for 2007 will decrease to approximately €21.0–21.5bn, in part owing to the strong euro. Following the out-standing performance of the fi rst three quarters and taking into account one-off income from the German Business Tax Reform Act 2008 totalling around €300m, we could marginally surpass our annual profi t target of €3.0–3.2bn in reinsurance, given a low claims burden from major losses and an at least satisfactory performance of the capital markets for the remainder of the year.

Primary insuranceIn life insurance, we anticipate increased new busi-ness in Germany, mainly owing to higher income from single premiums. The previous year’s fi gure had been positively infl uenced by the commence-ment of the third subsidisation stage for Riester policies at the beginning of 2006. In 2007, unit-

linked life insurance will experience very satisfac-tory growth, as will company pension business. Given the high number of life insurance policies concluded in the 1990s that are still scheduled to terminate, we reckon with a marginal decline in total premium income.

In health business, we will be able to achieve further sales in supplementary health insurance and generate growth in German business with comprehensive health insurance. Overall, pre-mium income growth for 2007 should exceed the 3% growth rate expected for the German market as a whole.

We expect a strong expansion of premium vol-ume in property-casualty business, particularly owing to good foreign business. In domestic busi-ness, we are proceeding on the assumption that gross premiums written will remain at the previous year’s level. As far as the result is concerned, we are optimistic that we will again be able to achieve a combined ratio of below 95% in property-casu-alty business, including legal expenses insurance, despite the high claims expenditure for Winter Storm Kyrill at the beginning of the year.

On 30 October 2007, a non-life insurance joint venture in India was agreed on between ERGO and the Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC Ltd.). ERGO International AG will acquirea 26% share in HDFC General Insurance Ltd.,Mumbai, the remainder being held by HDFC Ltd. The new company will be renamed HDFC ERGO General Insurance Ltd. The joint venture underlines ERGO’s international expansion strategy and offers direct entry into the Indian non-life insurance mar-ket with its very promising growth prospects.

All in all, gross premiums written in primary insurance for the year 2007 should total between €17.0bn and €17.5bn, enabling us to generate a sat-isfactory growth rate. On the basis of our perform-ance in the fi rst nine months of the year, we are confi dent of being able to maintain our successful course and also to deliver a positive result in the fourth quarter of 2007. Given the good develop-ment of our insurance business, combined with the one-off tax benefi ts and the good investment result fi gure thus far, we project that we will be able to fulfi l our profi t expectations, which we raised to around €900m in the previous quarter.

Munich Re GroupIn the third quarter, we continued to pursue our active capital management by buying back more shares. By the end of October, we had repurchased 10.2 million Munich Re shares worth €1.4bn. These share buy-backs are scheduled to attain a volume of at least €2bn by the Annual General Meeting on 17 April 2008. Further shares with a volume of €3bn are set to follow by 2010. Reducing the number of shares issued and improving our profi t will enable us to boost our earnings per share – proceeding from a normalised basis in 2007 – by an average of 10% annually by 2010.

In addition, we intend to pay our shareholders an annual dividend of at least €1bn for the fi nancial years 2007 to 2009.

The basis for these high payouts of at least €8bn to our shareholders is to be our good busi-ness results. We expect that the Munich Re Group’s consolidated premium income for 2007 will total between €36.5bn and €37.5bn. The expectation for our investments in 2007 is a return of 5% on their average market value.

For our consolidated result, we are adhering to our long-term objective of earning a return on risk-adjusted capital (RORAC) of at least 15%. In view of the very good performance of our business in the past nine months and taking into account one-off income of around €400m from the German Busi-ness Tax Reform Act/Annual Tax Act 2008, we aim to achieve a consolidated annual profi t of between €3.5bn and €3.8bn. This profi t fi gure is equivalent to a RORAC of 18–20%. Given the outstanding busi-ness performance of the fi rst nine months, we could marginally exceed our Group profi t target range for the year provided that, for the remaining period, the burden from major losses is low and the capital markets continue to develop at least satisfac torily.

The statements relating to opportunities and risks as presented in the Munich Re Group’s Annual Report 2006 apply unchanged.

IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, is applicable for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. In addition to extended disclosure obligations in respect of recognition and measurement of fi nancial instruments, the new standard requires more extensive information on the type and extent of risks from fi nancial instruments; the requirements of IFRS 4 regarding risks from insurance contracts have been adjusted in the same way. Parallel to this, IAS 1 (rev. 2005), Presentation of Financial Statements, calls for the disclosure of aims, methods and processes used in capital management.

As from the third quarter of 2007, the system for breaking down deposits retained on assumed reinsurance business between the reinsurance segments has been modifi ed – thanks to enhanced IT functionalities – to achieve a more direct allocation. This also results in a shift in “other securities”. The change has no effect on equity. We have adjusted previous-year fi gures retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8, without impact on profi t or loss.

Notes

Recognition and measurementThis quarterly report as at 30 September 2007 has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as applicable in the Euro-pean Union. We have complied with all new and amended IFRSs whose application is compulsory for the fi rst time for periods beginning on 1 January 2007. Otherwise, the same principles of recognition, measurement and consoli-dation have been applied as in our consolidated fi nancial statements as at 31 December 2006. In accordance with IAS 34.41, greater use is made of estimation methods and planning data in preparing our quarterly fi gures than in our annual fi nancial reporting.

Taxes on income in the Munich Re Group’s quarterly fi nancial statements are calculated in the same way as for the consolidated fi nancial statements as at 31 December 2006, i.e. a direct tax calculation is made per quarterly result of the individual consolidated companies.

The following effects from the fi rst-time application of new or amended IFRSs will be of signifi cance for the consolidated fi nancial statements as at 31 December 2007:

Changes in the consolidated groupOn 21 September 2007, the Munich Re Group acquired all outstanding shares in Cairnstone, Inc. via its subsidiary Munich Reinsurance America, Inc. With this transaction, our stake in one of the leading providers of stop-loss covers for US employers that fi nance their employees’ healthcare expenditure was increased from 25% to 100%. The purchase price for the share increase was €18.3m and includes incidental acquisition expenses, other costs such as consulting services, and taxes incurred. In addition to goodwill totalling €12.0m, we also acquired other intan-

gible assets of €5.6m. This capitalisation is based mainly on the tapping of additional future business potential, the use of the company’s distribution network as well as its sales, marketing and insurance know-how, and the planned expansion of business relations with existing clients.

The number of own shares held contains 4,550,718 shares acquired in the share buy-back programme decided on by

the Board of Management on 4 May 2007. These shares had not yet been retired at the balance sheet date.

To optimise our capital structure and with it our cost of capital, we placed a subordinated bond with a total vol-ume of €1.5bn in June of this year. It is a perpetual bond and callable by Munich Re from ten years after the date of issue. Up to then, it will have a fi xed coupon rate of 5.767% and thereafter a fl oating rate.

The fair value of the subordinated bond is hedged by means of an interest-rate swap. The changes in value of the subordinated liability and of the interest-rate swap are shown in the fi nance costs with impact on profi t or loss in each case.

45Munich Re Quarterly Report 3/2007

Notes to the consolidated fi nancial statements

The main changes in premiums in the consolidated bal-ance sheet and the consolidated income statement in relation to the comparative fi gures shown, as well as their development in the period under review, are explained in more detail in the management report on page 4.

Non-current assets and disposal groups held for saleOwnership of the following items fi rst classifi ed as “held for sale” at 31 December 2006 was transferred in the period January to September 2007: German owner-occupied property with a carrying value of €720m and German investment property with a carrying value of €66m. These items are therefore no longer recognised at the reporting date.

The major part of the investment property fi rst classi-fi ed as “held for sale” in the fi rst quarter of 2007 is still recognised at the reporting date – with a carrying amount of €6m – since ownership is not scheduled to be trans-ferred until the fourth quarter of 2007. Subsequent valu-ation of these assets classifi ed as “held for sale” did not give rise to any recognised income or expense at the bal-ance sheet date.

The carrying amount of the investment property held by the closed-end property fund OIK Mediclin, which was also classifi ed as “held for sale” at the end of 2006, remains virtually unchanged at 30 September 2007. After the reporting date, the Munich Re Group dropped its plan to sell its majority stake in the closed-end property fund OIK Mediclin. This change in plan was occasioned by the signifi cant al ter ation in the investment behaviour of potentially interested parties since the onset of the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the USA, which no longer makes a sale appear attractive under current conditions. The 21 hospital properties that were fi rst recognised as “held for sale” at the end of 2006 will therefore remain in the Munich Re Group’s possession.

The property portfolio of HGE Haus- und Grund-besitzgesellschaft Elsterwerda mbH, a company belong-ing to Ideenkapital, was classifi ed in disposal groups in

the second quarter of 2007; the carrying amount of this property remains unchanged at 30 September. A sale is still expected to be completed in the fi nancial year 2007.

In the third quarter of 2007, the Munich Re Group adopted a plan to sell its 50% stake in real-estate fund EUREKA Offi ce Fund. As the sale took place in the third quarter, the stake is no longer recognised at the reporting date. Established in 2001, the assets of the EUREKA Offi ce Fund were most recently invested in two top properties in the Central Business District of Singapore.

At the end of September – upon conclusion of a bid-ding process – the Munich Re Group contractually com-mitted to sell a mainly commercial real-estate portfolio of investment and owner-occupied commercial property in Germany with a total book value of €326m. The assets concerned, and the share of the provision for deferred premium refunds and the deferred taxes apportionable to them, have been classifi ed in disposal groups as “held for sale”. The items involved are properties located mainly in large cities but also in medium-sized centres. It is expect-ed that ownership of the items will mostly be transferred before the end of the fi nancial year 2007.

Besides this, further investment property with abook value of €65m was classifi ed in disposal groups as “held for sale” in the third quarter of 2007. The items in ques tion are hotels located in large cities and medium-sized centres. Ownership will probably be transferred in the fi nancial year 2008.

Related parties Transactions between Munich Re and subsidiaries that are to be deemed related parties have been eliminated in consolidation and are not disclosed in the notes. Busi-ness relations with unconsolidated subsidiaries are of sub ordinate importance as a whole; this also applies to business relations with associates.

46 Munich Re Quarterly Report 3/2007

Contingent liabilities, other fi nancial commitmentsIn comparison with the situation at 31 December 2006, there have been no material changes in fi nancial commit-ments of signifi cance for the assessment of the Group’s fi nancial position. No contingent liabilities have been entered into for the benefi t of Board members.

Events after the balance sheet dateUnder the share buy-back programme decided on by the Munich Re Board of Management in the second quarter of 2007, a further 2.0 million Munich Re shares with a volume of €265m had been repurchased by the end of October 2007.

In mid-October 2007, we concluded an agreement with US primary insurer Midland, under which we will acquire 100% of this company’s shares for a purchase price of around €0.9bn. With premium income of €679m and a combined ratio of 93.0% in 2006, Midland is a lead-ing US specialty insurer in such niche segments as the insurance of manufactured housing and motorhomes.

At the end of October, we acquired the British company MSP Underwriting Ltd. and thus a stake of 47.3% in Lloyd‘s Syndicate 318. MSP Underwriting focuses on international property business.

In addition, on 30 October we acquired a share of 26% in the Indian company HDFC General Insurance Ltd., Mumbai, via ERGO International AG. The renamed HDFC ERGO General Insurance Ltd. will operate in non-life insurance in India.

In October, we transferred earthquake risks in Japan to the capital market for the East Japan Railway Company. The catastrophe bond with a volume of US$ 260m was placed with international institutional investors.

The fi res in southern California have given rise to heavy losses which, on the basis of initial estimates, will affect the Munich Re Group with a claims burden in the double-digit million euro range.

Earnings per shareThe earnings per share fi gure is calculated by dividing the consolidated result for the reporting period by the weighted average number of shares.

Number of staffThe number of staff employed by the Group as at 30 September 2007 totalled 25,429 (25,524) in Germany and 12,557 (11,686) in other countries.

Review report

Review report

To Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft in München

We have reviewed the condensed interim con-solidated fi nancial statements – comprising the balance sheet, the income statement, the con-densed cash fl ow statement, the condensed state-ment of changes in equity as well as the selected explanatory notes – and the interim management report of Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesell-schaft Aktiengesellschaft in München, for the period from 1 January 2007 to 30 September 2007, which are parts of the quarterly fi nancial report in accordance with Section 37x in conjunction with Section 37w of the WpHG (German Securities Trad-ing Act). The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated fi nancial statements in accordance with IFRS for Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU, and of the interim management report, which has been prepared according to the applicable regulations for interim management reports of the WpHG, are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed interim consolidated fi nancial state-ments and the interim management report based on our review.

We have performed our review of the con-densed interim consolidated fi nancial statements and the interim management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of fi nancial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and conduct the review so that we can, through critical evaluation,

preclude, with a certain level of assurance, that the interim consolidated fi nancial statements have not been prepared, in material aspects, in accordance with IFRS for Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU, and that the interim manage-ment report has not been prepared according to the applicable regulations of the WpHG. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company employ-ees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a fi nancial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a fi nancial statement audit, we cannot issue an auditor’s report.

Based on our review, no matters have cometo our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed interim consolidated fi nancial state-ments have not been prepared in all material respects in accordance with IFRS for Interim Finan-cial Reporting, as adopted by the EU, and that the interim management report has not been prepared according to the applicable regulations for interim management reports of the WpHG.
